About Us

Praxis is a dynamic, award-winning human rights charity supporting migrants in crisis or at-risk, ensuring that their essential human needs are met and that they are able to overcome the barriers they face.

We played a leading role in exposing the Windrush scandal and advocate and campaign for lasting changes to policy and practice to address the root causes of the issues faced by at-risk migrants.

  • Culture of flexible and hybrid working (where appropriate)

  • 25 days annual leave increasing to 30 with service (plus paid Bank Holidays)

  • Equal parental leave (incl. 26 weeks on full pay, eligible after 1 year in post)

  •  Religious/reflective leave, life happens leave and menstrual leave

  • Reflective practice for all frontline roles

  • Employee Assistance Programme offers counselling and support 24/7

  • Workplace Pension Scheme and Life Assurance (1x annual salary)

Our commitment:

We are an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourage applications from those with lived experience of migration, and from diverse applicants regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital/civil partnership status, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, or pregnancy/maternity leave status.
